Painting of exposed natural gas/propane pipes
Painting of exposed natural gas/propane pipes
(OP)
Hi,
I'm looking for the type of prime coat and top coat for painting an above ground exterior black steel used for natural gas or propane. I have used alkyd anticorrosive metal primer and alkyd enamel before, but was told that I cannot use alkyd anymore because the product is not low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds). Anyone know of a product that can be used here that is also low VOC?
Thanks.

Up t 300F we use epoxy primer and epoxy top coat.
Generally we use Ameron or Carboline products.

Anyone know if paints and coatings for outdoor use has any VOC level requirements? I have seen 250 g/L for interior ferrous metal substrates.
